Kashmiri nationalism is defined by its dichotomy between the ethnic and the civic. Arshi Javaid delves into this dichotomy, unravelling the political and social variables that shape it. Moving beyond a conventional securitized perspective on the Kashmir conflict, she offers an understanding of Kashmiri nationalism as a daily practice. This perspective critiques the view that reduces Kashmiri nationalism to a monolithic entity, highlights dynamic socio-political developments, and argues that the state nationalist majoritarian agenda undermines collective rights, erodes local identities, and escalates tensions, breeding confrontation.
